It‘s Ali Smith.
This time a man who has been brought by a friend, to someone‘s dinner, locks himself into the bedroom of the people he visits.

The second Ali Smith.
This one is about a man who‘s invited to dinner. When everything thinks he‘s going to borrow the toilet, he locks himself in one of the bedrooms and refuse to move. We see the way this is effecting people around him

Interesting read, four chapters which illustrate differing views on Miles' self imprisonment and his place in his life and the world. I liked the linguistic cleverness very much.

You know when you've finished a really marvellous book and nothing will fill the void? That happened last night and thus I spent an hour dithering over which one to read next. I worried this might be a bit highbrow but so far it's very clever and keeping me turning the pages. ☺☺

She‘s a great writer, so I enjoyed this book. I wanted more detail about the man who locks himself in the room - he seems kind and well adjusted in everyone‘s telling or interactions with him - is that why he does it? For a break from reality? Some characters are horrible, but mostly kind and funny and normal people

Once there was a man who followed a friend to a dinner party. While there, the man decides to lock himself in the spare room and refuse to come out. Fact, we follow some people close to him and the house over the following days and months and see how his decision influence many.

This is a typical Smith novel, playing with language and words. Looking at art. Looking at people connecting to each other.

4th book read for #JoysOfJune

The fact is, imagine a man sitting on an exercise bike in a spare room.

This was a strange one. It tries to make sense of a crime that really can‘t be made sense of. It‘s a book full of gossip and drama, and chapter after chapter of lies, confusion and absurdities. By the end, it doesn‘t really clear anything up. It seems to be the sad state of this case. I was most interested in the chapter covering the ‘Kennedy curse.‘ That garnered the most reaction from me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Next up for the audiobooks! I started this book in an ebook version last year and had to stop. 1) I hate reading true crime in ebook form, they take me so long, and that‘s because 2) my kindle app is on my phone. So let‘s do this in the audiobook version!
